- What type of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)?

Transistor combo amp with Celestion
3 channels Clean / Crunch / Saturated

- What is the power delivered?

100W

- What connection?

2 inputs guitar Jack Crane
Back:
HP 8 ohm output jack
Output jack Direct output
Footswitch jack output for the 3 channels Contol

- What are the settings, effects ...?

Possibility to adjust the gain for channels saturated with a switch to select channel
Two separate reverbs, one for the clean channel, a channel for saturated
Two separate 3-Band EQ, one for clean sound and one for its saturated
Two separate volumes, one for clean sound and one for its saturated

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is simple?

Simple because the channels are switchable via footswitch supplied with the amp, and adjusted the equalizer reverb and volume separately for the channels.

- Do you get easily a good sound?

All pots of equations at the center, you connect a guitar and it sounds.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

I do not remember having used it once!

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?

Our music style is mostly blues / rock, it is perfectly clear and its configuration crunch, clear sound with a good record of harmonics.

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?

U.S. Fender Stratocaster, Epiphone Les Paul

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

The clean channel is really terrible, both warm and crystal, one of the best I've heard! Large distortion level (3rd channel) we realize that this amp is not for this ... But it remains relatively versatile, by plugging a distortion pedal we found it without problems.

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it?

Now a little over 4 years.

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...

This amp is very well made, with the build quality that Fender is demonstrated. The 100W amplifier transistor ensure proper performance. This amp is part of the series developed by Fender Dynatouch to ensure a quality close to the tube amp.

The Celestion is made perfect for this amp: after a lot of tests on tube amps (eg Marshall JCM 2000) or modeling (eg Line 6 Flextone), it turns out that this amp is formidable in sound clean. The sound is both clean and warm harmonics emerge very well. The popping sound about him is correct, even to predict when a distortion pedal that will improve the sound.

After many years of use, this amp has never given to us, both in power than strength. A very good buy, I think one of the best transistor amps clean sound level. I put 9 / 10 for the distortion that would have been better, but that is not the role of this amp.
